HS BASEBALL ROUNDUP

SALTSBURG 6, BISHOP CARROLL 5: Saltsburg, its baseball program dormant for 54 years before last season, opened the District 6 Class A playoffs by beating Bishop Carroll, 6-5, in a first-round game Thursday.

The Trojans, the No. 8 seed, plated five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull ahead, 6-4, and pitcher Ian Satler held the lead against the ninth-seeded Huskies.

Mitchel Yard slugged a home run and scored twice, and Brody Bieda added a triple. Satler and Bryce Zimmerman had two hits each.

Satler struck out three and walked two, allowing just one earned run on six hits in seven innings for the win.
